A Linguistic and Historical Look into Tagalog - Jeremy Buhain | PG 2024

Описание: Ever wondered why many Filipinos use so many Spanish words that you’d think we all somehow grew up with Dora the Explorer? Or ever thought to yourself, can someone who speaks Tagalog learn Indonesian with ease? And what’s the difference between Tagalog and Filipino anyway?
Come learn about the Philippines’ most spoken language from both a linguistic and historical standpoint. You’ll learn a little bit about that elusive Austronesian alignment; discover the difference between Tagalog and Filipino; and find out how the history of the Philippines has shaped Tagalog to what it is today.

Jeremy Buhain
It all started when Jeremy came across an American TV program teaching kids how to speak Spanish. He must’ve been 12. Or was he 10? Who knows—the age always changes every time he tells the story. But it doesn’t matter. From that moment on, he couldn’t keep his hands off learning languages. Now, he can confidently say that he speaks Filipino, English, and Spanish and dabbles in everything else. Born in the Philippines, raised in the US, and now living in Spain, Jeremy works as a climate change policy consultant when he’s not busy conjugating verbs in his head. In his spare time, he also likes to dance, paint, and go hiking.
